More On Chickenpox and Shingles

I just had a spirited conversation with J. Ray and Clay of Chasing Famy about vaccines. I took the pro stance on vaccines, and Clay took the skeptic’s stance. There was a little confusion about chickenpox and shingles based on some ambiguous phrasing on my part. I would like to remedy this with links to the CDC so you can all learn more about which vaccines do what.

The problem stemmed from the fact that I confused, and therefore did not differentiate between the childhood vaccine for chickenpox and the adulthood vaccine for shingles.
